Channel Partners Versus Hackers: Who will win?

It's one competition that channel partners simply cannot afford to loose. If you go by just the stories you hear every day, it may seem like the hackers have the upper hand. However, there are a lot more attacks that are silently being prevented every day.

This cat and mouse game is never ending because the hackers are getting smarter and becoming more innovative. Being one step ahead or no more than one step behind may be the best anyone can hope for.
